Design and Simulation of a High-Resolution Time-Of-Flight System for Thermal Ions at the Solar System Boundary

  • 摘要: 面向太阳系边际热离子高质谱分辨率探测需求,设计了高分辨飞行时间系统,该系统利用反射式线性场串列电极形成的线性反射电场,将入射离子进行一次反射,可在不增加传感器尺寸的前提下延长离子的飞行时间并减小飞行时间谱的展宽,从而达到提高飞行时间系统的质谱分辨率的目的。对传感器的电极电场分布及典型粒子运动轨迹进行了模拟仿真,并针对典型太阳系边际热离子成分开展了质谱分辨能力仿真分析。仿真结果表明:太阳系边际热离子高分辨飞行时间系统质谱分辨率≥50,能够满足对深空尤其是太阳系边际热离子的高分辨质谱探测需求。

     

    Abstract: Targeting the high-resolution mass spectrometric detection requirements for thermal ions at the heliospheric boundary, a high-resolution Time-Of-Flight (TOF) system was designed. This system utilized a linear reflection electric field formed by reflective wire-generated parallel electrodes to reflect incident ions once, thereby extending ion flight time and shortening time-of-flight peak broadening without increasing sensor size, thus achieving the goal of enhancing the mass resolution of the TOF system. Simulations were conducted on electrode electric field distribution and typical particle trajectories within the sensor, and simulation analyses of mass resolution capability were performed for typical heliospheric boundary thermal ion components. Simulation results demonstrate that the mass resolution of this high-resolution TOF system for heliospheric boundary thermal ions is ≥50, meeting the requirements for high-resolution mass spectrometric detection of thermal ions in deep space, especially at the heliospheric boundary.
